Julie strives for simplicity in her work, a less is more aesthetic that is evocative of forms found in nature, always with a focus on making functional pieces.

Her tableware is used at both Blue Hill and Aquavit restaurants in New York.

As co-owner of La Mano Pottery and Mud Matters pottery studios in Manhattan, Julie loves being able to provide community studio spaces where both beginners and experienced potters can thrive.
